Scott Dolan Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 I'm sure someone will post a "duh" answer, because I know I'm simply missing what is right in front of my face. But, on the mobile version of this site the menu navigation has a "mark all read" option. On the full version of this site I can't find the same feature. Can somebody tell me how this is done, and make me feel like a complete idiot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) At the bottom left-hand side of each page there's a button "Mark community read", etc. Edited March 28, 2013 by J.A.W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dolan Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 But there is nothing on the main forums page, right? That's what I'm really looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erwbol Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) There is an option to mark all as read. Edited March 28, 2013 by erwbol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.A.W. Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Look again, it's at the very bottom on every page including the main page, at the left-hand: "Mark community read", between "Change theme" and "Help". Just scroll down until you can't go any further. If you still don't see it, I can't help you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Can I ask an EXTREMELY STUPID question? (Well, if I can't, tough, 'cos here it is.) Why do you WANT to mark all forums as read? MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dolan Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Because when I get on here first thing in the morning there are usually 30+ threads active. Most of which do not interest me, but even if they did I wouldn't have time to read through them all. So, I like to read the ones I'm interested in and mark the rest of them read so that when I check for new content later in the day all those old threads don't come up in the search. It's just a streamlining process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 I'm going to mark them all as read so I don't have to read them all. No-one will ever know and think how much time I can save! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Since the thread starter here and another obnoxious character have single-handedly stopped all discussions in the politics forum, at least one section of the board needn't be marked as read all that often anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dolan Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 The political forum here has been on life support for quite some time. And long before I started posting recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ayers Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 By the way, the way to achieve what Scott wants is to click 'View New Content' and to select the left menu option 'New Since My Last Visit' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dolan Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Not really, because if you pop in but then have to leave, for whatever reason, without reading everything you wanted to they may not repopulate the next time you log in.

JSngry Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Not enough time to click on no more than at the very most 22 main forum headings to see what's new therein and then proceed accordingly? What, are you one of those Highly Effective People, and this is one of your habits? Try this, then - subscribe to a thread and get an email notification whenever somebody posts to it. Then you can waste time on email to keep from wasting time on the board. Life is not complicated unless you expect it to be simple. JK, LOL, inset smiley here, etc..
